They have come!

Yes, I bloody know! Got loads.

What I want to know is, how do they just appear as if by magic?
I don't mean 'hatch' or whatever but you see one, grab it & chuck it out, then another etc etc, but they just keep 'appearing' from nowhere. I've never actually see one flying, they just appear on the window/washer/cooker/bench/plant without warning!

I've seen loads floating about in our downstairs loo.

However.....I've decided to put anymore of the pesky buggers outside so the baby robins etc can feast on them. (I read about it)

Had to get a man in yesterday to deal with a wasp nest too, would've did it myself, but it was away inside a wall cavity, he had to equipment (co2 loaded!) to get the toxins in there.

He said he'd been mega busy with folk calling him for ants all day, asked him what he did, says all he does is put powder down! I'm in the wrong job.

Since they lost the Cold War, their aviation program has been underfunded to the point of extinction. Their whole organisation is now mostly underground.
